how do you change/ remove apps that start with windows in 2K.
i had it sussed in 98, systemtools/tools/start progs etc, but i am buggered if i can do it now. i tried the help but it wasn't very helpful, all it does is show me how to add shotcuts to the start button.

i am trying to stop clone cd and adaptec from running in the background, if indeed they are running at all.

i have already emptied start/progs/startup. is it a registry fettle?

ta.

It's probably in the registry if there was no sign of it on the start menu, off the top of my head I think you'll find it at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entControlSet\Run

msconfig is in Win2K

TweakUI can be very handy too! Get it from here: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui
